Tips for writers from Hugh Howey, as shared on his blog.

I'm CJ Lyons. And I'm a writer.... If you also need a twelve-step program to stop writing, then you've come to the right place. I don't like rules. I don't like people telling me what to do. I don't like complex formulas or graphs or charts that I have to consult because that's the "right way" to create a compelling story. So I've taken everything I've learned about the essence of good storytelling and I've distilled it all into a few simple concepts. Things so easy that by the time you've finished this book and practiced using these techniques, you'll be able to not only craft a great story but also to complete your novel. In fact, by the end, you'll be saying: Wow! This is so easy, it makes so much sense! I can use this every day I write... NOTE: I’ll be uploading parts of this how-to book every Thursday. If you’d like to buy the complete book it’s available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XTWZA2 (and was previously published as No Rules, Just WRITE!) There's also a companion workbook available on NoRulesJustWrite.com ABOUT CJ: New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of twenty-one novels, former pediatric ER doctor CJ Lyons has lived the life she writes about in her cutting edge Thrillers with Heart. Winner of the International Thriller Writers’ coveted Thriller Award, CJ has been called a "master within the genre" (Pittsburgh Magazine) and her work has been praised as "breathtakingly fast-paced" and "riveting" (Publishers Weekly) with "characters with beating hearts and three dimensions" (Newsday).

It's not a book yet, but it will be. That's in the works. For now we (Ron and I) are sharing everything we know about writing, publishing, and marketing books. Why spend so much time on this to help teens we don't know? Well, I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was 8, but I didn't have anyone to show me how. So I got sidetracked and became a journalist. Then when I rediscovered my passion for fiction, it was a tough road to learning and publishing. I don't want you to have to work so hard or wait to realize your dream of being published. In fact, at Teen Writers Publish! we like to say your writing career starts now! If you're writing stories, you're already a writer. And we believe one day you can make a living doing what you love. Why can't one day start now? I'll use these pages to pass on to you what we discuss on the show, some of our own writing tips, and my writer's journey to being a writer...interrupted. Oh, and I'm sure Ron will be adding his rise to publishing as well. You'll meet both of us there. And please leave your feedback after each show, and tell us what you want to learn! We start the week of July 6th, 2015. Hopefully that will be the week that your writing career begins!

We all struggle everyday. We're human. All I'm trying to do is make a light in this dark world for Jesus. Its all for Him and His glory. I started writing this book when i was 14 years old. It was January of 2014 and I'm now 16 so sorry if its a bit immature in the beginning. :)) Have a blessed day! ~Kayla
